MICHAEL DENZINGER,-OF LOUISVILLE, KENTUCKY.

FAUCET.

To all whom it may concern Be it known thatI, MICHAEL DENZINGERQ a citizen of theUnited States,residing at Louisville, in the county of Jefferson and State of Kentucky, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Faucets, of which the following is a specification, reference being had to the accompanying drawings. .o o

This invention relatesto new and useful improvements in faucetsfand more particularly to that class offaucets which are adapted to be used for various purposes, the

main object of the invention being the pro vision of a faucet whichmay be used for drawing liquids from receptacles, attached to a wash stand, bath tub, sink, coil box for beer, and drinking fountains. or for similar purposes.

Another object of the invention is the provision of a faucetof the above character wherein the valve within the faucet is automatically closed by the pressure of the liquid upon the release of the operating handle.

Another object of theinvention is the provision of a faucet of this character which will possess advantages in points of efficiency and durability, is inexpensive to manufacture and, at the same time, is simple in construction and operation.

With the above and other objects in view,- the invention consists in the novel features of construction, combination and arrangement of parts as will be hereinafter referred to and more particularly pointed out in the specification and claim. 4

In the accompanying drawing forming a part of this application, Figure 1 is a longitudinal sectional view of a faucet construct ed in accordance with my invention. Fig.

2 isa transverse sectional view taken on the line 2-2, Fig. 1; and Fig. 3 is a front elevation illustrating a double faucet. I

My improved faucet as herein shown and described, is preferably formed in two detachably connected sections, the outer section being generally indicated by the numeral 1 and the inner section by the numeral 2. The inner section 2 is in the form of a cylinder having at its inner end the annular flange 3 which is adapted to abut against the outer face of a barrel or other receptacle, when the threaded stems.- has been engaged within the bung hole of the barrel or other receptacle to securely retain the faucet in an upright position. The

threaded stem 41 upon being inserted within the bung hole of the receptacle, will engage with the nut 5 which is arranged upon the interior of the receptacle (not shown), said nut securely holding the stem 4 against longitudinal movement when in position, so as to prevent the faucet from being accidentally pulled away from the receptacle.

The outer section 1 is provided with a downwardly projecting spigot 6 which is adapted to communicate with the interior of the section and the interior of the cylindri cal section 2. It will be apparent from the accompanying drawings, that the interior of the cylinder 2 is threaded and adapted to be removably engaged with the inner end of the section 1, said section being reduced and provided with screw threads, as indicated at 7. The forward end of the section 1 is provided with an exteriorly threaded sleeve 8 which opens into the interior of the section 1 through the reduced opening 9 and threaded upon the sleeve 8 is a perforated cap 10-which is adapted to retain the packing 11 in its operative position, said packing being arranged around the rod 12 which is mounted for reciprocatory movement with in the outer section 1. It will be apparent from the accompanying drawing that the opening 9 is of substantially the same diameter as the rod 12 so that the same may form a suitable guide for the rod, the inner end of said rod being slidably mounted within the transverse guide member 13 arranged within the cylinder 2.

Arranged in longitudinal alinement with the bodyxof the section 1 is a supporting arm 14: upon the outer end of which is pivotally mounted the operating lever 15, said lever having removably secured to its outer end a handle member 16 and the lower end of said lever being pivotally connected to the outer end of the rod 12 by means of the connecting member 17. The inner end of the connecting member 17 is provided with an interiorly threaded socket as indicated at 18 and is adapted to be removably engaged with the outer end of the rod 12 so that the operating lever 15 may be readily engaged or disengaged with the reciprocat ing rod 12. Removably secured to the rod 12, is a fiber valve member 19 which is adapted to engage with the valve seat 20 formed upon the inner end of the outer section 1. The valve 19 is held securely in'position by means of the annular flange 21 formed on the rod 12 and the threaded cone member 22 which is removably mounted upon the rod.

Fromtthe above description taken incon:

nection with the accompanying drawings,.

it will be readily apparent thatI have provided a simple and durable faucet which may be quickly and readily attached to a barrel or other receptacle to draw the liquid contents therefrom. It will be apparent 7 that upon the pivotal movement of the lever 15, the valve 19 may be engaged or disengaged from the seat 20 to open and close the faucet. It will be noted that after the handle 16 has been released, to permit the valve g stem within a suitable opening formed for the purpose and engaging the same with the interiorly'threaded nut 5, said nut securely retainin the fauceta ainst-an lon itudi- I a V V b I nal movement; p

In 13 1g 3, I have illustrated. a modified formof the invention, whereln two faucet members areconnected by means of a single outlet spigot 23, said spigotbeing preferbly in the form of a'T, the upper outwardlyprojecting ends thereof being C011? nect'ed' with the forward sections, in any suitable manner so as to provide asuitable communication between the spigot 23 and the interior of the section 1 of both'faucets. From thisitwill be'apparentthat the single spigot 23 may be readily connected with both the cold and hot Water faucets,

It will be apparent from the foregoing descrlption taken in connection with the ac- Copies of this patent may be obtained for Wshingtoml), O."

companying drawing, that my improved faucet is extremely slmple 1n constructlon and can be manufactured at a comparatively low cost.

While I have shown and described the preferred form of my invention, it will be obvious that various changes in the details of construction and in the proportions may be resorted to for successfully carrying my invention into practice Without sacrificing any of the novel features or departing from the scope of the appended claim.

What I claim is I A device'of the character described comprising detachably connected sections, one

of said sectionsbeing provided with a discharge, a guide member in the bore of the other section intermediate the length thereof adjacent the innerextremity thereof, the inner end of the first named sectionprovided with a valve seat, a rod disposed withinthe bores of the connected sections and coacting with the guide member and mounted for'reciprocatory movement, the'intermediate' por- V ti'onof the rod'being provided with an an nular shoulder, the peripheral portion of the rod adjacent theshoulder being threaded, a

valve disk surrounding the rod and adapted to abut theshouldcr, a memberin engagement with the'threaded portion of the rod to clamp the disk against the shoulder thereof, anarm connected with the first named section intermediate the length thereof and .havin its ma or )ortion arran ed in lon itudinal alinement with the section; andter- .minating in advance thereof, an operating lever pivotally secured intermediate its length to the outer extremity of the arm,

.Said' lever-havin one eXtremit oivotall r V V b i engaged with the outer extremity of the rod.

In testimony whereof I hereunto afliX my signature in the presence of two witnesses. MICHAEL DENZING'EB.
